Working in rounds
Step 2: SC around. Repeat two more times. (making 3 rows)
Step 3: Slip stitch into next 24 stitches
Step 4: SC 22, TURN
Point 1: Skip one stitch, 2 HDC, CH 2, 2 HDC in same stitch, skip

Point 2: Skip one stitch, 2 HDC, CH 2, 2 HDC in same stitch, skip

Turn, slip stitch across to the back of the crown BUT when you reach
every CH 2 space on the top of each point you ~Slip stitch in Ch 2
space, CH 2, PS, Ch 2, Slip stitch in same CH 2 space~ (To do the
puff stitch you need to yarn over, put hook in stitch, yarn over,
pull through, repeat two more times, pulling yarn through a total of
7 hoops)
Finish off. When weaving in both ends, try to go the directions that will pull the starting and finishing stitches to be more level. (since we worked in rounds.)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This will be perfect! And so quickly too, can’t wait to go buy yarn in the morning.
Yay!
Chain 70? this fits me…not 0-3 months…here’s hoping it shrinks up a bit as I keep going…
Are you using the right hook and same yarn I used?
Yup, i don’t know if they way I was holding it was stretching it or what, but the finished product was falling off my three year old. I’m making another one and just did about half the number of stitches…seems to be working
Thanks so much for posting this pattern! I grabbed my yarn and hook and worked as I read. It took me 40 minutes start to finish. It’s absolutely adorable! Thanks so much!!
So I just tried this, 70 chs with the soft acrylic yarn using a 4.25 hook got me 16″, the average size of a 0-3 month old head is 13-14.5 inches.
15-16.5″ is 6-12 months
16-18″ for a 12-24 month old.
The crown is beautiful but the measurements seem much bigger than a 0-3 month old, 16″ plus stretching would fit a 12-24 month old.
Thank you for posting this pattern! I am going to be working with it to make several different sizes anyways. For a 0-3 month old I would chain to about 13″, with the stretch it should fit prefect!
I used simply soft… which works up smaller than the average acrylic.
